Living on a quiet, tree-lined street that backs up to the Poesten Kill is one of the last surviving Americans who developed the first atomic weapon at Los Alamos, N.M., as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project during World War II. [...] 94, the decorated Army veteran recently sat in his living room and discussed for the first time what it was like to work on the front lines of history. The attack led the U.S. to enter World War II and launch the effort to develop an atomic bomb before Hitler's Germany could. Johnson graduated with a degree in chemical engineering Dec. 22, 1942, months before his class was supposed to, because engineers were needed for the war effort. [...] physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and others were working on producing an atomic bomb under the direction of Lt. Gen. Leslie Richard Groves Jr. The young man was assigned to the Army Corps of Engineers' 9812th Technical Service Unit, Manhattan Engineering District. With U.S. troops suffering major casualties to the Japanese in the Pacific Theater, President Harry Truman made the decision in August 1945 to drop atomic weapons on two Japanese cities, rather than risk massive casualties with an invasion of the Japanese mainland. Johnson rose to the rank of technical sergeant and received the Meritorious Unit Citation, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the American Theater Ribbon and the World War II Victory Medal. Due to the classified nature of his work, Johnson did not receive his unit's shoulder patch that features a lightning bolt splitting an atom until he was honorably discharged April 26, 1946, at Fort Bliss, Texas. ]]>
